Our streamline product architecture allows us to quickly add enhancements to the product. This allows us to provide exceptional support and testify in court (if necessary) as to the exact function of the software. Technology Pathways has chosen to not use libraries provided by other companies, but instead, develops all their own code. Other significant additional features and function added in 2004 include UNIX support and Linux support, registry and thumbnail graphics viewers and the ability to extract ExIF metadata from JPEG and TIFF files. These features use a behavioral based technology to locate these Trojans and rootkits quickly. During 2004, the company continued to enhance ProDiscover, adding two unique and patent pending features to assist incident response investigations find the latest Trojans and rootkits that cloak themselves within a system.
Since a prerequisite for the purchase of forensic software is its acceptability in court, the company worked with industry experts to test and report on the product (required for court acceptance), then with early adopters to utilize ProDiscover in cases that were adjudicated in court.
The first phase in marketing ProDiscover was to gain market acceptance and early adoption. This patent pending capability allows investigators to see the contents of the HPA in a file view as well as a cluster (raw data) view. One of the first key differentiators was the ability to dynamically search the Hardware Protected Area (HPA) of a hard disk drive.

Over the past three years, it has emerged as one of the leaders in this rapidly growing market.
